San Thi Dar Restaurant
San Thi Dar
A curry house run by an elderly couple in Myinkaba village, serving many complimentary side dishes and recommended by Lonely Planet.
Located in Myinkaba village between Old Bagan and New Bagan, near Myazedi Pagoda, and run by an elderly local couple. Lonely Planet calls it the best restaurant in Myinkaba, serving authentic Burmese home cooking. Curries arrive with several small side dishes, fried banana and fruit. Signature dishes include potato curry, fish curry, house-made tofu and tea leaf salad, and there are plenty of vegetarian options; you can ask for no MSG. Drawbacks are that the food is a little oily, dishes can occasionally be slow to arrive, and it is a bit noisy because it faces the street. It is inexpensive and a good lunch stop while visiting the ancient temples.
